 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable variation of Tang Soo Do taught by single individual with no coverage by reliable, independent sources. Singularity42 (talk) 21:09, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

I have also added the following article, becuase the subject is the sole instructor of this martial art:

Information to consider
The reason I created Tang Soo Do Kyohoe Kwan was because it is a new style less than one year old, and there was no information about it on Wikipedia. I am a student in said style, so I thought it would be a good idea to create an article. I mentioned in it that Master Bill Church was the head instructor of the style, so I though it best to make an article about him as well. Originally, I was going to make the information about him a section in Tang Soo Do Kyohoe Kwan, but there was so much information that I was turning the article in to one that talked mainly about him instead of the style. The idea that he should have his own article came partly from the fact that there is an article about grand master Hwang Kee. Or maybe Bill Church is not famous enough. But if the articles must be deleted, than so be it. I do not wish to go against Wikipedia policy. Thank you. Paper fork  ♠ 01:55, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete the Tang Soo Do Kyohoe Kwan article as a nn new art. As to the instructor, I am inclined to say delete, but is the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame worth considering? The majority of these are worthless. JJL (talk) 02:32, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete the Tang Soo Do Kyohoe Kwan article since it's clearly a non-notable new art. The article on Bill Church is a little trickier, but I'm inclined to say Delete on it, too.  The description of him at the U.S. Martial Arts HOF merely says he's the co-founder of a school that has produced over 100 black belts and that he's active in a variety of community kid safety programs.  Certainly commendable, but I don't think it shows notability.  I don't see evidence of accomplishments that pass the martial arts notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 04:04, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
